Overview

This article will show you how to modify a Redirect.

Instructions

1. Navigate to Site Tools > Redirects
   
   
2. Select desired domain
   
   
   • All Sites: By selecting this option, you will apply the Redirect to all your domains; this is the most recommended option
   • By selecting an actual domain the redirect will only be active for that domain
     • Note: If you choose this route you will need to add the redirect to the www and non-www domain - e.g. www.civicplus.com and civicplus.com.
3. Select the redirect you want to modify
   
4. Modify the redirect
   
   
   • Link From: This is the end of the shortened URL, what will display as the redirect, e.g. /Parade
     • Note: You will need to include the /, however, do not include a full URL.
     • Note: For security reasons, the following extensions have been restricted from use in the redirects module: .axd and .js.
   • Link To: This is where the shortened URL will go to, e.g. /78/2017-Annual-Parade
     • A Full URL is the complete web address for a page or website. For example, http://civicplus.com/78/2017-Annual-Parade is a Full URL.
     • A Relative URL is the ending section of a Full URL. It is the part of a web address that comes after .com, .gov, .org or whatever the top level domain of your website may be. For example, /78/2017-Annual-Parade is the Relative URL of http://civicplus.com/78/2017-Annual-Parade.
   • Retain URL: Controls if the Link From shows once the destination loads
     • Note: By doing this, if a user moves away from the page it will still keep the Link From address.
• Retain Query String: Controls whether query string parameters will be carried over to the From URL
  • A query string is the part of a URL containing data that does not fit conveniently into a hierarchical path structure. The query string commonly includes fields added to a base URL by a Web browser or other client application, for example as part of an HTML form.
• Retain Path: Controls if the path from From URL shows once the destination loads
• Match Query String: Controls if the redirect will require the query string to match
• Display: Controls the redirect to only be active during a certain time period
5. Select Save Changes or Save and Make Active
